Objective

To build your resource model into a complete package so it can be installed on the Tivoli management region.

Background information

After testing your resource model, you must generate a tar (tape archive format) file and then install it on the Tivoli management region. When you run the Generating the package procedure, you generate all of the following at once:

The above files are combined into one tar file. You can perform each process individually, but a combined tar file must be installed on the Tivoli management region for your resource model to function.

Before you begin

Test the resource model, as described in Running a resource model.

When you finish

You must generate the package of your resource model so that you can deploy the resource model to the Tivoli management region. Completing all the steps in this procedure installs the generated tar file on the Tivoli management region. After the tar file is installed on the Tivoli management region, your resource model is ready to function.

Procedure

You can perform this procedure from the command line interface or the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.
